Lots of exposition as, after we get what we need, we're called back to base in order to meet up with the Holy Knights and get an update on the overall search party. Turns out there's still one missing, but we aren't concerned about that in order to simply continue to proceed onward.
After all that talking, I could use a good swim.

![Ys Origin (PC) [41] (Hugo Route 16) - The Perp Always Returns to the Crimson
The things I have to do in order to come up with title puns on episodes that are all combat and little, if any plot.
But the fun part does come from engaging in pure combat as we steadily make our way up through the first part of the Blooded Blight and even have a cutscene in a spot that wasnt in Yunicas route-
Oh, wait, I end the video there because the next one would have been too short otherwise.
Next time, then!

![Castle of Shikigami III [47] - Emilio + Mihee
Emilio may complain in the beginning, but the route as a whole is another nicely insightful one as he gains some life lessons from his partner and we learn a bit more about the pain that Mihee is carrying. Thankfully, its a happy end overall.
I decide during this run that Emilio is easily the most versatile character in the game as, while he doesnt specialize in anything, hes still good at basically everything if you know how to use him. As such, Mihee doesnt get a lot of action.

![Lufia & the Fortress of Doom Restored [17] - Decided to Extend the Tower of Duty
It actually looks like I know what Im doing for a bit when it comes to the Blue Tower, mainly because of a stupid mistake thats shown in a bonus video that will go up later. But both the Blue and Green Towers dont take long to explore, especially since there arent any boss fights in either.
Hopefully that momentum will continue.

![Castle of Shikigami III [40] - Kohtaro + Batu
Its the classic Idealism vs. Cynicism trope in action as Kohtaro and Batus beliefs on how to deal with their enemies clash, but at least one side grows to understand the others point of view a little bit.
However, an ominous prophesy appears at the forefront in the middle of the run...
Batu can cover for Kohtaros regular shots not doing as much damage to bosses while at Max Tension but, otherwise, its pretty much all Koh.
As for what happens after that ending? Afraid well never know because we never got another entry in the series.

![Ys Origin (PC) [26] (Hugo Route 1) - So How Fact Are We?
So it turns out our other main character wakes up in front of the other Roda tree.
Were introduced to Hugo, the magical prodigy and heir to House Fact, and he has the skills to back up his claims especially as he plays very much like a shooting game character.
After our introductions and tutorial battles, we get our usual exposition prior to entering the tower for the first time.

![Castle of Shikigami III [27] - Fumiko + Kohtaro
Yukaris not talking about the software in that thumbnail, by the way.
In terms of gameplay, Kohtaro and Fumiko pair up quite well as they can cover for each others weaknesses quite well.
In terms of the story, get ready for hilarity as our poor protagonist once again learns the meaning of pain courtesy of being the games butt monkey in nearly every scenario that isnt his own.

![Lufia & the Fortress of Doom Restored [38.5] (Bonus 2) - Pinpointing the Eggxact Location
Even though were one member short of a full party, we can complete the Dragon Eqq side quest and gain all three wishes even if it means wishing for the same item multiple times.
Seriously, the Might Shield is really the only one thats fully worth it every time, but getting that Might Bow earlier didnt present any problems either.
And, again, dont make the same mistake I did: Remember to re-equip M.D.s weapon after losing Dual Blade!

![Wind Waker Randomizer [15] - Circlet Soleil
Time for my first seed of a new Randomizer from a game that I thought I knew more than I did. So yeah, theres a lot of salt.
But thats more entertainment for you guys.
Be warned, though, this ones long.
It also starts off with those who joined in co-comms also rolling and running their own seeds, but recording ran so long that they moved on to other projects, so theres some unusual overlap. But I dont mind as this would have had a lot of empty commentary otherwise.

![Lufia & the Fortress of Doom Restored [32] - Newtonian Cuisine
6 pieces of Alumina down, 1 to go.
The final piece is in the possession of the King of Herat, but he wont part with it unless we can curb his appetite. And the solution to that is meeting up with the Wizard of Taste back in Lyden who tells us about the Purple Newt found in the aptly-named Purple Newt Cave.
Funnily enough, finding the actual Purple Newt felt easier than finding the cave.
Lets upgrade Falcon!
